Orlando’s Magical Dining Month is Back This September!

Welcome to the Disney Food Blog. If you enjoy this post, you should check out the tour of the site to see all the great Disney Food information we have.

Once again, if you’re planning to visit Walt Disney World during the month of September, you can take advantage of Orlando Magical Dining Month! And this year, the discounts actually start six days early during a brand-new Preview Week!

Mark your calendars for August 25 — September 30. During that time, guests can enjoy prix-fixe menus at more than 75 Orlando Area Restaurants — including a few at Disney-area spots!

Dinners at all of the restaurants will feature three courses from a set menu for $33. And even better — $1 from each dinner will go to benefit the Foundation for Foster Children!

La Luce Butterscotch Pudding – YUM!

If you’re Disney-bound during this time and would like to take advantage of the savings while dining on property, check out the offerings from these participating restaurants!

Il Mulino

Il Mulino, located at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, offers some of the best Italian fare that we’ve enjoyed in Walt Disney World. Check out a review of our recent visit!

Todd English’s bluezoo

Incredibly inventive dishes which push the envelope and are always on trend — that’s what you’ll enjoy in this sleek restaurant, which is located at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. bluezoo is a great place to unwind for cocktails and small plates, too! (See our recent review here.)

We will be at Disney from 9/18 – 9/23 and were planning to eat at Il Mulino anyway, so this might be a good option! Two questions: Do you have to specifically request the Magical Dining menu or will it automatically be offered? Are the main course options regular-size or half-portions?

Rebecca — We haven’t seen much rotation. These three restaurants have participated in recent years.

Gigi — Definitely! Yes, you should let your server know that you’d like the Magical Dining Menu when you’re seating. Tax and Gratuity are not included. You should also still make a reservation, as sometimes, restaurants fill up quickly with this offer. The menus are not billed as half portions or tastings, so they should be full portions.

Was just at Il Mulino on Monday night. Ate at the bar, got the Magical Dining menu and was able to use TiW. We also got the Parmigiano Reggiano for 2 appetizer – menu price is listed as $8 but we were charged $10. We didn’t say anything since we got our TiW discount, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
